4.5 billion dollars - that’s how much the industrialists and multinationals in the blood business made between 1980 and 1985. The financial " reward " for 5 years of silence which led to human tragedy. In the five-year span between 1980 and 1985, tens of thousands of hemophiliacs and transfusion patients throughout the world were contamined by the AIDS virus. The investigation highlights the events leading up to the scandal and the main people involved. It pinpoints the massive industrialization of anti-hemophilia treatments and the refusal to implement the most basic, compulsory (and costly) blood sampling precautions. In fact, the only reason no decisions were made on an international level is the money it would have involved. An absence of supervision coupled with the blindness of various doctors are what allowed this deadly spiral to reach such catastrophic proportions.
